modules
(10:15:32) mspevack: the BOF was small, BOF == "birds of a feather
session" which is basically just a Q&A
(10:15:44) mspevack: it was small because there was a party thrown by
Google at the same time with free alcohol
(10:15:53) mspevack: but from what I understand, the questions we had were good
